Rubio: Maduro is not a President, but Head of the 'Cartel de Los Soles'

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated firmly that Nicolás Maduro is not the legitimate president of Venezuela, but the head of a narco-terrorist organization, the 'Cartel de Los Soles'. According to Rubio, Maduro has been indicted for drug trafficking in the United States. This statement follows reports of a possible arrest of Maduro by US authorities, raising questions about the future of Venezuela. The reference to the 'Cartel de Los Soles' suggests a deep involvement of the Maduro regime in illegal activities and the loss of control of the country to criminal organizations. Rubio's statement was published on the X platform.
